Will the 750TI work with my PC OK?

Thanks guys. Don't really want to buy a new computer right now. Not a gamer, just want my son to be able to get reasonable performance on DCS as he really loves it, just has to be flyable! I looked up the GTX 770 that was recommended and it was over $500?! I'm in Canada... Can someone look at this page here and tell me if there are any graphics cards on there that would work with my system and not break the bank? I'm not really tech savvy, don't want to buy the wrong thing. http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/category/video-cards/20397.aspx?type=product&page=1&sortBy=price&sortDir=asc Or preferably on Amazon.ca: http://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=node%3D677243011&field-keywords=&rh=n%3A677243011 I would REALLY appreciate some suggestions so I can buy something. Thanks!

Suggestions then? Is there a way to use this simulator on this system? New graphics card or are you saying even that won't cut it?

New user here and having major trouble with frame rates. On the ground it maxes at 5 fps and in the air 2-3 fps, which is so jerky it's unusable. I've searched the forums and done everything I think that was suggested but only a very mild improvement (as in previously it was even worse than these numbers!). What I've done: - graphics.lua file I changed the max fps to 400 and dropped I think it was some long distance ground objects to 10000 from 15000. - in game settings everything set at low or off, screen resolution is at the lowest setting, cockpit lowest setting, heat blur off, aero theme off, TSAA and MSAA off, ADR off, CIV off, Vsync off. Trees and all those slider settings on the right are all slid to as far left as possible. - also played with the 3D settings of my graphics card to the fastest possible performance setting (less quality) but didn't change anything. Computer specs (desktop): - Windows 7 premium - AMD II X4 645 processor, 3.10 ghz - 6 gigs ram - 64 bit system - graphics card ATI Radeon 4200 (256 mb) I don't know anything about overclocking or checking to see if I'm overheating or anything, so please give instructions for dummies if I have to go there. Only thing I can think of is the graphics card is not good enough but I think I've read other posts from people with the same or similar graphics cards that were getting much better fps rate than this? Right now I'd be thrilled with 15-20 fps! If I need a new graphics card I'm open to that, please make suggestions. Do not really game other than trying DCS. Would really like to see if I can get any more performance out of the card I have before giving up if that's possible. I should note that all that is being played is the instant action training type stuff for the P-51 on easy, just to learn the basics of starting up and flying. So no guns, bombs, multiple planes or missions of any sort. We're just talking sitting in the cockpit starting up, taxi, tack off, quick fly and land. HELP please! Thanks!
